Claude – so so week

Jump to Comments

I’m one day late, and have no excuses ;) Only it was medical week, and I was away for two days and visited with my friend Annik, and luckily we had nice weather.
Anyway, here goes
Sat Oct. 18: 10,000 steps
Sunday Oct. 19: felt lazy and just went to the market. So this was only 3,000 steps

Choosing mushrooms

Monday Oct. 20: a rather good day since I went for a medical exam which turned out ok. My previous gynecologist had “diagnosed” a cyst on my left ovary that she recommended I had removed :(
Going to a specialist was well worth it. It isn’t a cyst but some sort of scar and there’s no point in touching it as it is totally innocuous… When dealing with doctors, it’s sometimes good to trust your own instincts!
So I celebrated by walking 14,800 steps, (6200 aerobic steps)
Tuesday Oct.21 was mammogram day :cry: I hate mammograms. But the doctor gave me a clean bill of health so it’s all right. She was so late that I missed my Feldenkrais class :( and as it was pouring, I only managed 5,240 steps
Wed. Oct. 22, we went to Beauval Zoo (I love zoos) and walked 6,720 steps none of them aerobic, as I stopped to photograph animals!
Thursday Oct 23, we went shopping! I bought the greatest bag to hold my swimming attire. But mind you, I haven’t been to the swimming-pool two Mondays in a row. Tomorrow?
Still, we walked 8,000 steps
Friday Oct 24, I had my one-hour stretching class. I usually go walking after that, but I just had to take a day’s rest. So no walking on Friday.

Remember everyone! We have all agreed to post once a week! Nudge, nudge…

  • Congratulations on all the good health reports! I need to go for a mammogram soon also… :-(
    I don’t think this is so so-so — you’ve got TWO 10,000 step days there!
    Lovely picture of the market! I’ll be alert to those instructions…

  • I do have two 10,000 steps days, but no brisk walking or swimming or indoors biking… so it’s alright compared to last year :razz: but I’m trying to work on my cholesterol count and cardiotraining exercise is one of the best ways of fighting it, my doctor says…

  • So good that you pushed the medical system, Claude. I’m with Sara in thinking yours is a very good week on health and movement fronts.

    And I have a suspicion that you and the swimming pool will be connecting in the near future.

  • Great news on the health checks even if they got in the way of your exercise routine. However, 14,800 steps – WOW!!! Well done you.
